This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law, part of the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, as administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, requires an operator of a store, as defined, to establish an at-store recycling program that provides customers the opportunity to return clean plastic carryout bags to that store and to make reusable bags available to customers. Existing law prohibits a city, county, or other local public agency from taking specified regulatory actions with regard to plastic carryout bags. A violation of these requirements is subject to civil liability penalties imposed by a local agency or the state. These requirements and prohibitions are repealed on January 1, 2013. This bill would delete the repeal date, thereby continuing those requirements and prohibitions indefinitely. The bill would require a person that manufactures a reusable bag to print or attach a warning label on the reusable bag containing specified information. The bill would also require a person who sells or distributes a reusable bag to conspicuously display that warning near the display where reusable bags are sold or distributed or provide that warning in another written form. The bill would require the department, by October 1, 2013, to conduct a study, in consultation with the State Department of Public Health, to evaluate the health risks of using reusable bags, to monitor the health effects in communities that principally use reusable bags, and to determine the validity of specified findings of previously published studies. The bill would require the department, upon completing the study, to conduct a one-year statewide education and awareness campaign.
